Question

On January 1, year 2, Connor Corporation signed a $100,000 noninterest-bearing note due in three years at a discount rate of 10%. Connor elects to use the fair value option for reporting its financial liabilities. On December 31, year 2, Connor's credit rating and risk factors indicated that the rate of interest applicable to its borrowings was 9%. The present value factors at 10% and 9% are presented below. PV factor 10%, 3 periods .751 PV factor 10%, 2 periods .826 PV factor 10%, 1 period .909 PV factor 9%, 3 periods .772 PV factor 9%, 2 periods .842 PV factor 9%, 1 period .917 At what amount should Connor present the note on the December 31, year 2 balance sheet?

Answer 1

$84,200

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount that should be presented the note as on Dec 31 for year 2 is shown below:

= PV factor 9%, 2 periods × non-interest bearing note amount

= 0.842 × $100,000

= $84,200

Here we considered the 9% interest rate as it is the revalued with respect to the fair value and the same is to be considered
